Modelization of the aeraulic in a wood-burning appliance

Abstract : The objective of the project research is to take into account the impact of aeraulics in a wood burning appliance, in order to better manage the distribution of gas flows, in view of optimizing combustion and thus reducing pollutant emissions at the source. To this end, this whole project proposes two complementary modeling approaches, which will be coupled with experimental measurements of Residence Time Distribution (RTD) and pollutant emissions. The work presented here deals with the modeling of the flow by Computational Fluid Dynamics, the experimental measurements of RTD and their analysis, as well as the modeling of the aeraulic within the heating appliance using the DTS-Pro software.
